I've been on a Radiohead, Hail to the Thief kick lately, and the mastering is very quiet, with excellent dynamics. So, I've been trying very hard to work with dynamics in my masters lately, while preserving loud volume. Here is the latest experiment at -9 dB RMS in the loud section. How dynamic or squished does this clip sound to everybody?

My Firepod was working billiant, and then this awful scratty sound came along ! Does anyone have a clue ?

Heres the link to the sound clip, it's a very small mp3:

The scrat isn't always on, but it sometimes just starts out! it's really strange !

Hope you can help me !

Hello there, I have not posted on this forum yet so here, is my first ?

Has anyone used or do you use the BombFactory Essential Clip Remover ?
If so how good is it? is it easy to use?
Or is there a similar plug. The rpice seems good for $99.
Peace
Thanx

Does anyone have an extra clip for a Sennheiser 421 that they'd be willing to sell me? It's the old model, the U-5. I got a good deal on the mic but it didn't have a clip.

thanks,
Nick

Hi there,

Do you have a droopy Studio Projects B1 mic clip? This is how I adjusted the tension on mine :

Since I know Harvey is partial to them, and a few others here are as well, I thought it'd be worth mentioning that Radio Shack has these mics on sale for $30 a pop. If nothing else, get a few and sell them to the next band that asks you if you can help them with their live setup ;)
